The work of the International Search Mission at the site of the fall of the Malaysian Boeing-777 in the Donetsk region of Ukraine has been completed. According to Interfax-Ukraine, the Minister of Security and Justice of the Netherlands Ard van der der Ster said about this at a briefing in Kharkov.

The official did not exclude that in the future other evidence in the case could be found at the site of the incident. However, he added, the mission did everything that "could do within the framework of her authority."

In early April, the Government of the Netherlands announced hundreds of documents related to the investigation of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing. The officials went to such a step according to the requirements of the media referring to the legislation on freedom of information.

Almost 600 documents were published, mainly electronic letters of investigators.

On March 30, the Netherlands police unveiled a document in the Boeing case, prepared by an international group, which includes investigators from Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and from Ukraine. The document states that one of the versions of the disaster considers the shot of the Buk anti-aircraft missile system from the territory controlled by the militants of the DPR. Investigators suggested that this “beech” was transported on a Volvo tractor from one settlement of Donbass to another.

Boeing-777 collapsed on July 17, 2014. All 298 people who were on board were killed: 283 passengers (mainly subjects of the Netherlands) and 15 crew members. The militants of the DPR accuse the death of the Ukrainian military. Meanwhile, a number of circumstances indicate that the militants themselves, as well as Russia that provides assistance, are involved in the incident.
